THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
Ground Broken as Far Northws ard n Tenth
STRAIT Yester day.

Ground Broken as Far Northw ard ~ Tenth
Street, Yesterday.
Work upon the Electric railway was
confined yesterday to breaking ground be-
tween Twelfth and Tenth streets, . gang
Of about forty men being engaged on the
lob all day. In view of the fact that the
Board of Public Rules prohibit the open
ing of any new ground after midnight last
night, the contractor did not attempt to
complete any of the line between the two
streets named ready for rails, but simply
contented himself with opening a narrow
lane through the cobble stones, as far up %
the south side of Tenth street, intending
to perfect the work hereafter. The work
of digging in the frozen ground was pretty
difficult, the earth having to be softened by
long lines of coal aud wood fires, as q pre-
hminary measure.
Enquiry at the Office Of the Board OF
Public Works did not reveal any indica.
ton that the work Of the Company would
be interfered with in the slightest degree,
there being a very evident disposition to
favor the corporation In every possible way.
1t is likely track laying will commence on
Main street hill" to-day, and that the
two squares will b. down by Saturday
night.

Good Luck.
Some time ago the Wheeling Natural
Gas Company leased tract of land from
Mr. McGilvray, who owns farm adjoin-
ing that Of the Morganza Reform School,
in Washington county. A well was put
down, and after it had beer bOre"coyer
2, 90 feet the company abandoned it, or ut
least pretended to do so. Mr.. McGilvray
a few days ago asked the gas company
managers if they had given mp all notion
of further working the well. The reply
was that they had The owner Of the ter
ritory wanted the lease cancelled, but the
company refused to do this He then in
sisted that the work COON.
Work war commenced on Monday and
Tuesday the well turned ont In be regu-
lar gusher. The drill had no sooner struck
the sand than the oil gushed forth and shot
up over the top OF the derrick and con
timed flowing rapidly. After considerable
difficulty the hole was plugged, but not
before at least 100 barrels were lost. Mr..
NcGilvray says the company knew all
along there was oil there as they were try
ing to lease additional territory from him
at low price That circumstance first
aroused his suspicion. Both he and the
lessees feel very much elated over the big
strike.

Some Midwinter Gossip Concerning the
Sport.
II is q fact probably not well known that
at the meeting OF the Ohio League, last
week, the color line was drawn and the
constitution amended 30 as to rule out all
colored players. Very many Of our citi-
Gems will regret this on account Of Sol.
White, as he was q fayorite with the
patrons Of the game in this city, being not
only one of wheeling's best players, but
also perfect gentleman in his actions. For
fear the Iatelli9eReer may have something
to saw. we will remark that the mover Of
the amendment, and all who voted for it,
were Republicans
Wheeling has secured quite good team
for next year and is looking around for
others. Those already signed are Buck
euberger, Stspleton, Van SAINT, OttersOn
and Flanagan, the three basemen, short,
and pitcher of the Kalamazoo, Yak and
Delehanty, the catcher and second base
man of the Mansfield, Stencil, Nichol and
Morrison of the Wheeling, and Stevens,
who pitched for the Columbus A noted
left fielder, who stands high as batter,
has been decided on, but the contract Is
not signed as yet
1t is rumored that of Wheeling's last
years. team, Crogan and Dunn have
signed with Chicago's Western team for
one hundred and twenty-five dollars per
month, and Nicholson with the st. Louis
Browns for fourteen hundred per year.
Nichol, Morrison and Stencil have signed
with Wheeling at slight increase over last
year. Sol White expected TO sign with
Wheeling, but was ruled out by the change
in the constitution. Speidel will probably
90 to Lima, and Kimber and Westlake are
hunting for a club rich enough to give
them the earth.
Among the players announced to have
been secured for the Columbus team OF
1893 are Johnnie HsndibOe and Charlie
Pike, as pitcher and catcher, though
whether they will work together as bat
tery is not yet known. Paddy WEIGH will
cover second base and Jerry o BrieD, OF
last years International League, will take
care of the short field. Carl McVey has
been signed for the right field. All OF
these except O'Brien are known to Ohio
League people, and they are certainly good
PLAYERS. O'Brien is said to be fine short
stop and heavy hitter. There are five
men assigned besides Manager Curry.
There is need of seven more men, and at
least four of these have been decided on
and the contracts are all but closed.
Barley and Glasscock are very much
pleased with the players secured for next
year, and say that Wheeling will have no
trou bic in winning the penDant. Glassccck
speaks in high terms Of Morrison, whom
he thinks has the making OF one OF the
best pitchers in the country.
